This year's Winter Classic will feature the Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers at Boston's Fenway Park on New Year's Day.
"It's terrific to have partners like NBC and the NHL," said Dave Ogrean, executive director of USA Hockey. "I think by announcing our men's Olympic team as part of the broadcast of the Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic, we all feel like it will add to the pageantry of what is sure to be a spectacular event."
The U.S. team will feature 23 players, including 20 skaters and three goaltenders. The entire roster is expected to consist of NHL players.
Team USA's first Olympic game is scheduled for February 16 against Switzerland.
